Whip up a delicious BLT salad featuring ripe tomatoes, crispy bacon, green beans, and sweet corn for a satisfying dinner.
Ingredients:
  • For the dressing:
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped shallots
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons finely sliced chives
  • For the salad:
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cut in half
  • 1/2 pound green beans, preferably haricots verts, ends trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 3 to 4 heirloom tomatoes of varying colors, sliced into thick rounds
  • 2 medium ripe avocadoes, sliced
  • Kernels from 2 medium ears of cooked corn (about 2 cups)
  • Leaves from 1 head Boston lettuce, or salad greens of your choice
Instructions:
  • Prepare the dressing by mixing together shallots, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes to mellow the sharpness of the shallots. Then, whisk in the buttermilk and mayonnaise until creamy and fold in the chives.
  • Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Prepare the green beans: Fill a bowl with ice water and set aside. Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 4 minutes until tender. Transfer beans to the ice water and swish for 1 minute. Then, transfer to a bowl and toss with olive oil and salt.
  • Create the salad: Spread the lettuce leaves on a large platter or divide among 4 plates. Layer tomato and avocado slices on top of the lettuce. Sprinkle corn over the salad and arrange green beans around it. Add bacon on top. Drizzle with dressing or serve on the side. Finish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste.
